That's some interesting data. I definitely don't want to damage my frame. What is a safe thrust for the 1st generation frames to prevent frame stretch? I value accuracy over velocity but I still...

Thanks for the link! I just bought one for 357 Herrett. I guess that means that I am obligated to get a barrel and dies now. I mean, that is the rule, right?

Dang! Now I want a 357 Herrett.

I saw on another forum that someone that had a 44 and 350 legend was ablento swap barrels on frames and close each with the same clearance using feeler gauges. They did say they didn't shoot them...

So maybe the thorough cleaning of the mold is more important than heat cycling? It seems like there are different opinions of the heat cycling and you guys have the experiences to prove your stance...

That's a nice one!

And thank you for your service.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of my obsessions. Contenders, Single Action Rugers, reloading, casting, lever action carbines, woodworking, raising sheep, the list goes on. I suppose...

I'm happy with mine too. I probably wpuld have never bought it if not for the great advice here and cwlongshot's video on it.

Yeah, they picked some odd calibers for their limited selection. I'm sure 35 Whelen and 444 Marlin are great, but not very mainstream when they offer 308 overseas but not here. They also have 45-70...

I'm new to the Contenders. I wanted one for years but was more interested in bowhunting but now have more interest in handgun hunting. I picked up an easy open frame and have bought 2-10" 30...

That wood furniture would be a nice option. As well as the .222 chambering. Interesting that their 16.5 inch 308 has a faster twist than the longer barreled version.

I would think with TC and...

I should be set then. I have purchased the NOE gas check seater, the NOE APP adapter and sizing bushings, and the NOE stepped expander plugs for the Lee Universal expanding die, which I already had....

I'm with you on expanding the line to include more handgun calibers. With the price of new contender barrels being the same as the whole CVA rifle, it would nice to have more to choose from. Or...

I bought a CVA Scout TD in .243 Win a few weeks ago. I just got a scope mounted on it and haven't gotten to shoot it yet. It seems like a nice little gun with a nice trigger and a nice price. Now...

It coats easily. Swirled in a cool whip bucket for about 30 seconds and 15 minutes at 400°F to get the results in the picture. It's listed as a high gloss which seem to coat best for me with any of...

Sinbad Purple from Prismatic

What rear sight is that?

I wouldn't pass up a chance at that 32 Single Six if you could get a good deal on it. But, like I just posted, I'm a big fan of the 32's. Very versatile and can be loaded pretty hot if you're so...

I also have a Single 7 that gets primarily 32 h&r through it. I am a big fan of the 32's.

Ruger Single Six 4 5/8 in .32.H&R Magnum.

To be honest, I've never experimented with crooked gas checks versus straight. I just always culled the crooked ones. But it does make sense that 20,000 psi on the base would push that check on a...

So, I am liking the NOE gas check seater. It works very well on gas check that are hard to snap on by hand. Since I had a large number of bullets already powder-coated that needed gas checked, I...

After reading the Mal Paso thread, it seems like there have been differing opinions of heat cycling for quite a while.

The analogy of seasoning like a cast iron skillet makes sense to me. I certainly don't mind to do the heat cycling if it serves a reasonable purpose. I just couldn't see how just heating it up on a...

Well, I couldn't help myself. Just heat cycled my newest molds. I guess I'm just a rule follower.
